The OVA


Kishin Douji Zenki Gaiden: Anki Kitan (also known as the OVA), is a short movie, that, despite seeming similar to the Kishin Douji Zenki anime, it is completely unrelated to the anime itself.

While featuring more details in its art, the animation itself is rather choppy outside Zenki's battle against the titular Anki Kitan, making the OVA's overall quality inferior to the anime of the series.

The OVA is its own timeline and acts more as an intermission to the manga than the anime. This becomes notable when Chiaki can transform Zenki directly from his Chibi form to his Cho Kishin form without Goki's help, which is only possible in the manga, but which she can't do in the anime.

Also, Goki's human self, Akira Gotou is referred to as Gokimaru, which is the name he is referred by in the manga. (the anime always calls him Akira)

The OVA starts with Chiaki and Chibi Zenki visiting a village, where young girls are mysteriously disappearing.

Chiaki meets up with the people who called her, the Ibuki sisters. These tell her about the ancient demon Kagura, the titular Anki Kitan. The Ibuki family has worshipped this creature for generations in hopes of fortune and longlivity, sacrificing young maidens to statisfy its hunger.

When the Ibuki sisters' grandmother decides, that the younger Ibuki sister, Michiru, has to be sacrificed to Kagura, the older sister, Hikaru, goes instead.

Chiaki is inside a guest room and enjoys her tea and some herbal bread when Chibi Zenki appears inside the roof and tells her, that he noticed something fishy.

He snatches her food away, eats it and tells her, that there's no time to lose. Chiaki wants to punish him, but is interrupted by the Ibuki sister's mother showing up.

They soon meet up with the Ibuki sisters and their grandmother, who is performing the sacrifice. Of cause, they step in and stop the grandmother from successfully pulling it through.

Kagura doesn't like this and shows up to attack the Ibuki, Chiaki and Chibi Zenki.

Chibi Zenki tells Chiaki to transform him, which she does. Now Cho Kishin Zenki faces Kagura in a fierce battle.

Cho Kishin Zenki gets wounded, but keeps on fighting nonetheless. After the battle, he stands victorious and eats the Hyouinomi left behind by Kagura.

Chiaki and the mother of the Ibuki sisters berate the grandmother on her actions, while Chibi Zenki is left with a bleeding scar on his right cheek.

Once everyone has calmed down and returned home, Chiaki and Chibi Zenki leave the place. Chiaki has treated Zenki's wound, but he is still left with a scar, that will take its time to heal.

They return to Shikigami-chou via train.

Here, the OVA ends.
